Thank you for that Simmy. Yes, Mr Lee was my consultant 15 yrs ago and was always RNAS Culdrose’s go-to specialist when referring patients. Unfortunately I don’t see his name on the RCHT current list of orthopaedic consultants, so I guess he has retired or otherwise moved on. Interesting that you were able to choose the private hospital Duchy next door to Treliske. One area that gives me some cause for concern at Treliske is their poor record with infection. I know infection and knee replacements do not mix successfully.
I only remembered Mr Andy Lee because I saw it on the Royal Duchy Hospital website (and the name is the same as a friend of mine from my flying days. - just checked again and he is listed. My wife had a hip done there as well under the same NHS scheme. Also very well done but by the other consultant at the time whose name I do not remember. The food and service were excellent and free!
